4.6.2 Applying a License File
Software options like TimeKeeper, or Multi-GNSS must be activated by applying a license file:
Typically, SecureSync units are shipped with the license file pre-installed, reflecting the system
configuration as ordered. If a feature is to be activated after delivery of the SecureSync unit,
please contact Spectracom Support or your local representative to have a license file gen
erated. License files are archive files with a tar.gz extension. One license file may contain
multiple licenses for multiple products.
To apply the license file, you need to upload it into your SecureSync unit and install it:
1.
Save the license file license.tar.gz to a location on your PC (which needs to be
connected to the same network SecureSync is.)
